ANNOUNCEMENT--
Highland View Stock Farm is located in Claremoiit, N. H.,
one mile from station, and consists of six hundred acres of highly
improved land. The buildings have been constructed with a view
to attractiveness as well as convenience, and sanitarily are well-
nigh perfect. With good, never failing water supply, rich pasturage
and ample yard room, the facilities for the breeding of trotting
stock are unexcelled. The roads are excellently constructed
throughout the town, besides which, there is on the farm as fast a
half-mile track as is on any farm in the country ; forty feet wide
all the way, with fast stretches and turns, which are nicely graded.
From the buildings may be seen from any point of the com-
pass the most picturesque views, including mountain, valley and
river vistas, and altogether Highland View is excellently well
adapted for a country seat. Visitors are welcome at all times save
Sundays, when business is suspended and the stock cannot be
shown. Those interested in breeding, developing or examining fine
horses will, we feel assured, see much of interest here. The stock
is bred in well tried lines, and individually as good as the breeding
would suggest.
Excepting Evolutio, any animal in the collection is for sale,
reasonably priced, on application.

This breeding is unsurpassed in many directions. The ancestors
were nearly all of developed speed, and were tried and found to
be brilliant campaigners. As Stranger was by Gen. Washington,
and out of Goldsmith Maid, record 2.14, 332 heats in or below
2.30, and Gen. Washington by Gen. Knox, 2.3 if (public trial, 2.24),
out of Lady Thorne, 2.18^, 106 heats in or below 2.30, and own
sister to the phenomenal broodmare sire. Mam. Patchen. Nomi-
nee's dam. Sapphire, out of the great mare, Lucy, 2.18^, 62 heats
in or below 2.30. Now we get a combination of the blood-lines
of the three Queens of the Turf during their day, a line to
Geo. M. Patchen, Champion Stallion during his time, and another
to Jay Gould, which was also stallion king at one time.
Alcantara leads the world's speed-producing record, and was by
Geo. Wilkes, ex-champion stallion king, and the leading sire to
date among sires of trotters ; his dam. Alma Mater, by the leading
extreme speed broodmare sire (as judged by the 2.20 list). Mam.
Patchen, 58, is dam of Alcyone, 2.27, sire of Alcryone, 2.15^,
lona, 2.17^, etc., Arbiter, 2 30, and AUicia, 2.30, second dam
Estella, by Australian, third dam Fanny G. (also third dam of
Palo Alto, 2.12^), by Imp. Margrave. This includes, it will be
seen, four direct lines to Hambletonian 10, the greatest sire of his
time, and sire of Electioneer, George Wilkes, Happy Medium,
Dictator, etc.; two strains to Alexander Abdallah, 15, opportunity
considered, Hambletonian's best son ; three strains to Mambrino

Chief, II (once through his best daughter, and once through his

can Star, 14, sire of dams of Dexter, 2.17^, Nettie, 2.18, Orange
Girl, 2.20, Guy, 2.1 of. The famous sires, Geo. Wilkes, Almont,
Mam. Chief, Abdallah, 15, and Mam. Patchen, are of themselves
sufficient to form a gilt-edged pedigree, but add to this the out-
crosses of pacing and enduring thoroughbred and it is complete.

Geo. Wilkes' best nick is with the Mambrino Chief blood ; here
we have it reversed. The Wilkes, on dam's side : backed by
gamest. of racing strains and crossed on sire's side to the double
Mambrino Chief strains, with a Pilot, Jr., outcross, then direct to
a foundation of great notoriety for stamina.
Eagle Wilkes is not a large horse, but as handsome a horse as
stands, of commanding appearance and absolutely perfect vi ajiatom-
ical construction everywhere. He is fast, stylish, and will be, or should
be, a great sire. There's no speculation about him, for on each
side it has been shown to be of speed-producing value. There are
few in all this broad land like him, and none handsomer, according
to those who have the right of experience to say it.

Third Dam, Dam of Spotted Jim, 2.33.
Could trot in 2. 25.
Here we trace direct to the great broodmare fountains, Mam-
brino Chief, 11, three times, and to Pilot, Jr., 12, twice, with speed-
producing dams all round. Almont Eagle and Psyche both de-
veloped performers both capable of faster records than attained
at the time made, as their trials indicated each could beat 2.20.
Back of all is another speed-producer, dam of Spotted Jim, 2.33, a
horse trotted around half-mile tracks more to obtain purses than
record; he could trot in 2.25 and faster, but was never allowed to
trot there. Speed-producers denied first-rate opportunities are the
very best examples of individuality to be found, and of far more
value in a pedigree than fashionable strains which cannot substan-
tiate by virtue of performance the trust put in the richness of
breeding by patrons who wonder that they never got a trotter when
those bred in similar lines go and perform creditably. Napoleon
was retained, as he was well fortified with a high rate of natural
speed, to prove what he now is, a trotter.

Second Dam, Sea Foam, by Young Columbus,
Record 2.24^. Sire of Myron Perry, 2.24I, Sea Foam,
Could trot in 2.20, or better, and won 2.24I, Harry Harley, 25!, Phil
24 hotly contested heats in 2.30 and Sheridan (sire of Phylis, 2.15^),

2.30.
Third Dam, Daughter of Hambletonian, 2,
(Harris,)
Sire of Green Mountain Maid, 2.28^,
and 3 others also, dams of 6 in 2.30.
There is decidedly an outcross here, and includes fast performers.
Mermaid ought to have been in the list, but has been bred in pre-
ference to a turf career. The blood of Young Columbus breeds
on: Adelaide, 2. 19I, a daughter of Phil Sheridan, has Nina D.
2.26^, at 4 years, and Addie D., 2.25 1, at 3 years, in the list. Such
an outcross, when commingled with Hambletonian and Mambrino
Chief blood, must result favorably, as it becomes stronger as a
speed-productive factor.
This fellow is a royally handsome horse, excellently fashioned,
bred and gaited for a fast performer, and knows nothing but trot.
Good judges think him capable of a record in his four-yearold
form inside the "circle which divides." He will be handled this
coming season, and, barring accident, will be given a mark.

Almont Eagle, 2.27, Mammont 2 in 2.30 list), and through Alma
Mater (4 in 2.30) to Mambrino Patchen, son of Mambrino
Chief, and his best son as well. To Hambletonian through Geo.
Wilkes, 2.22, his best son, Administrator, 2.29^, Abdallah, 15,
Rysdyk and Hartford's dam. In addition there are strains direct
to Grey Eagle, Sir Archy and Diomed. He is individually one of
the fastest gaited colts of his age to be found, look where we may,
and extremely bloodlike^ and in every way promising. He is ultra-
fashionably bred, possessing the best performing blood from Al-
cantara (21 in 2.30 list in 1890), and tracing directly to the greatest
matron of the year, Jessie Pepper.
There is little to risk, for' with opportunity he will become a
trotter, and his opportunities on the Highland View mares are con-
ceded to be first-class for the production of trotters, and the rec-
ords show that the trotters descended from Jessie Pepper are
among the gamiest and most level-headed ever to show in public.
Prince Regent can trot in 2.14, as can ^gon, if not indeed faster;
2.23:!: will not stop Irene — with another season she can undoubt-
edly enter the 2.20 list easily.
Taken all in all, there are few colts obtainable with as promising
a speed inheritance as has this fellow, and with excellent bone
structure and high finish we can but anticipate a brilliant future
career for him either here or in the event of his being disposed of.
In his two-year old form he will be allowed a few choice fillies
from our stud.

Nutwood, 2.i8f, with 49 in the list, Cora Belmont, 2.24^, Russia,
2.28. Besides these Lord Russell has sired several, including
Kremlin, 2.22^, trial, 2.18 at 3 years old. Nutula is dam of
Maudlen, 2.25^, and Mambrino Russell sired several, including
FARM STALLIONS. 15
Happy Russell, 2.21^, he sire of Happy Bee, 2-year record 2.29^,
on half-mile track. Nutbourne, trial, 2.26^, has two in the 2.30
list. A wonderful record of speed transmittance ; and several
others will undoubtedly be in the list, as Miss Russell is alive, and
breeding each year. Nutwood was by Belmont, trial 2.28:^, and
his dam, Belle, by Mambrino Chief, produced McCurdy's Hamble-
tonian, 2.26|-, with 7 in the list, including McEwen, 2.18^, at 4
years, Belmont, with 35 in the list, and Bicara, the dam of Pan-
coast, 2.2 1|, famous as sire of Patron, 2.19I-, at three-years old, in
a race; 2.14^, at 5 years, in a race. She was a daughter of the
wonderful broodmare sire, Mambrino Chief, 11. Rex Nutwood's
third dam produced Lady Mac, 2.23. Turn where you may this
pedigree bristles with speed ancestry, and individually he is a great
young horse^ and a promising candidate for turf success, possessing
capabilities of high order as to speed. Nutwood sold at auction
for $22,000, and has stood at the head of popular sires for six
seasons, and as evidence of his success commands a fee of $500,
wuth "book filled" for five years. A Nutwood weanling sold at
private sale for $6,000, highest figure ever obtained to date. That
Rex Nutwood will develop into a great young horse, there can
scarcely be raised a doubt, if no unseen accident overtakes him
previous to maturity. Horses of his individuality, by Nutwood,
are not obtainable save at phenomenally high prices.

SCUTHRI. JR.
Dark bay stallion ; foaled 1883 ; bred by Wm. H. Moody, Clare-
mont, N. H.
Sire, SCUTARI.
Son of Woodford Mambrino, 2.21^, sire of Abbottsford, 2.19I (sire of
CoNDE, 2,20), Mambrino Dudley, 2.19! (sire of Crescendo, 2.24), and
others.
First Dam, Mary Curtis, by Volunteer Boy,
Sire of dam of Fearnaught, 2.19, and
obtained record his first heat in
public, 2.i9f.
Second Dam, Daughter of Black Sherman,
Owned by Elijah Hoffman, Philadel- Son of Vt. Black Hawk, out of the
phia, Pa. Hammill Mare by son of Bellfounder.
Here's another pedigree built on the Mambrino Ch'ief Hamble-
tonian cross and with a Morgan outcross. Woodford Mambrino
started late in life, but got a record of 2.21^, and died before
meeting the stud opportunity his breeding called for. He had
same dam as Wedgewood, 2.19, the greatest compaigning stallion
yet produced, and the only one to win all his races during the
progress of a campaign through the Grand Circuit. Scutari was
by a son of Mambrino Chief (his best son, so to speak), out of
Sallina by Belmont, second dam, Susette by Pilot, Jf., third dam,
Susan by American Eclipse, fourth dam by Woodpecker, fifth dam
by Hephistion. He traces to Mambrino Chief twice, to Abdallah,
15, Pilot, Jr., Hambletonian, 10, and has a rich thoroughbred back-
ing. He is in appearance a remarkably handsome horse, re-
sembling Woodford Mambrino very much, it is said, by visitors
having seen both horses. In action, pure-gaited, level-headed, and
a fast stallion any time developed. As a sire, his colts speak
louder in his behalf than words. He gets a line to that sire of
game racehorses. Volunteer, and also to three noted broodmares.
Woodbine, Belle and Martha.
As an outcross with blood of the Clay or Morgan families, he
would meet his best success, and ought to produce a rare lot of
performers. His daughters will stand inbreeding or will produce
trotters to the cover of Wilkes horses. All in all, Scutari, Jr., is
a first-class individual.

Almont Eagle is, in every way, a wonderfully well-bred stallion,
and superlatively capable individually; Almont's dam being by
Mambrino Chief, and from a Pilot, Jr., mare, and his dams are
among Mambrino Chief's most successful producers. He is a
much faster horse than his record indicates, and judges of expe-
rience stated, during his training, that he surely could beat 2.20.
Outside of Highland View his opportunities have been limited.
1 8 FARM STALLIONS.
We have here two which can trot in 2.25 to 2.20, and several better
than 2.30. They will be trained and placed in the list another
season (189 1) ; barring accidents will get fasts marks, and rank
their sire among Almont's most productive speed-siring sons. His
get are large, substantially fashioned, good-gaited, and handsome,
uniformly; this, added to soundness and good dispositions, renders
them very desirable for road use, where many have drifted after
leaving their breeder's ownership. His sons breed a high class of
colts, and from those among his daughters, which have been bred,
we can show some remarkably promising speedy young animals.
In every way Almont Eagle is desirable to head any stud in
America. His own brother. Piedmont, 2.17:^, is fast proving his
value at Palo Alto, though overshadowed many years by the great
Electioneer. At the close of 189 1 Almont Eagle will be found
among the foremost of Almont's producing sons, and whoever
secures him will secure one of the richest bred developed sires in
America. He can beat his record easily many seconds with a
month's track work ; is roaded ten miles a day, and in the best
condition for any use determined upon.

sidered the best), out of a mare by Mambrino Chief and Ama, Vit-
toria's second dam by a successful son of Mambrino Chief, the
whole resting on a three-ply throughbred foundation, tracing each
time through his most noted sons to Sir Archy, son of Diomed. Is
it to be wondered at that Vittoria gets fast colts, of great courage
and determination, fine finished, and is, as well, a fast horse him-
self? No, it would be contrary to the laws of Nature were it
otherwise. For an ideal broodmare sire he must be a grand suc-
cess, and his daughters, \yhen bred to Wilkes' Mambrino Patchen
sires, are going to produce remarkably fast performers. The
Hambletonian Mambrino blood stands doubling, and always im-
proves when inbred through excellent individuals.
Vittoria is probably the best bred son of his sire standing for
service, if, indeed, not the best in existence. Administrator never
was afforded the opportunity, but by downright meritorious indi-
viduality came into the front rank among sires, notwithstanding his
obscurity. Several among Vittoria's get here are remarkably
fast, and, when trained, will show very credi4:ably.

This is great breeding. Blackwood, 2.31, could trot a 2.10 gait,
and was out of a Mambrino Chief dam. Geo. M. Patchen, 2.23^,
led all the stallions of his time, and got Lucyj 2.i8;|^ (see Evolutio
for her roll of honor), and leaving these we go through Imp. Con-
sternation to Imp. Trustee, to American Eclipse, grandson of
Diomed, back to Sir Archy, best son of Diomed. Vittoria adds
Hambletonian and Mambrino Chief blood. He is the fastest
trotter ever bred here, and a great-gaited, level-headed fellow.
His dam is in the stud, but will be given a record before again
being bred. She is one of Blackwood's speediest daughters, and
a grand broodmare. New England, at any price, is a good in-

are by Hambletonian (sire of Administrator), out of Clay dams.
He is inbred once remotely to Pilot, Jr.'s, sire, Pilot, a fast pacer,
and of great individuality, judged by the contributions through
his son's daughters to the 2 30, and notably the 2.20 list. Through
Cassius M. Clay, Jr., he goes to the Imp. Diomed sire, Duroc,
through American Eclipse, his best son, and through Commodore
twice to the founder of trotters in America, Imp. Messenger. He
has, all told, 27 strains to Imp. Messenger, and 7 to Diomed, 4 to
Mambrino Chief, 11, 3 to Rysdyk's Hambletonian. A wonder-
fully rich pedigree, as a more minute analysis will at once estab-

speed and producing sons ; Volunteer, dam, Lady Patriot, another
wonderful matron, and on dam's side the great turf stars are near
connections ; Lakeland Abdallah, sire of his second dam, a brother
to the sire of the fastest performer to date. Mam. Dudley never
had a foal but that trotted or produced speed, and Sue Dudley has
two in 2.30 list, and each have 2.30 performers already. His fourth
dam was sister to the well-known Woodburn producer, Maud, a
great mare. In addition to Abdallah, 15, Mambrino Chief, 11,
and Volunteer, 55 (to Hambletonian), Highland View has a line to
Edwin Forrest, sire of dam of Mambrino King, the sire of Prince
Regent, 2.i6|-, Mocking Bird, 2.16J, Henrietta, 2.18^, and Jocko,
pacer, 2.165. Every line goes into thoroughbred blood, and it will
improve on examining into the breeders of the most famous per-
formers bred that way, for the reason that identical strains are
found among their direct ancestors. If breeding of this sort fails to
produce a performer of merit, or a sire of speed, it will be a seldom
found exception. He is one of the choicest, individually con-
sidered, stallions in New England, and fit to be placed in any stud
collection in America.

erfully made from head to heels, and no inclination to mix or
amble. His trotting action is beautiful and he may go very fast if
he were trained. Nelson, 2.io|, Maud S., 2.08^, Harry Wilkes,
2.13^, Manzanita, 2.16, and others, are in a measure indebted to
the pacing brood for their speed. Almate's pacing strains are
those identical ones which have best resulted when introduced into
trotting pedigrees heretofore. He will sire speed beyond a shadow
of doubt, and is one of the nicest roadster stallions ever foaled.

Collie is a magnificent rangy bloodlike mare, an excellent pro-

They show speed and testify in every department as to the dam's
qualifications for broodmare use. She is one of the finest bred
mares in the land, as a careful analysis of her pedigree will show.
Lakeland Abdallah with proper opportunities afforded him would
have been a wonderfully successful sire. He was early taken to
a locality more interested in breeding draught than trotting lines.

TwiSTWOOD traces twice to Imp. Trustee, the great 20-mile trotter,
and is a mare remarkable for her beautiful finish, intelligence and
high nerve force. She can trot in or near 2.30, and is very nervy
but well behaved. At twenty she will be as graceful as she is now.
Her sire, Blackwood, could go quarters in 32 seconds as a three-
year old, and sold for $25,000. He yet lives at an advanced
age, sound as a dollar and rugged. The Blackwoods are a speedy,
dead game, long-lived lot of trotters, and campaign successfully.
They are so highly organized that it becomes necessary to be very
gentle in training them, though not "rattle-headed" necessarily.
When bred they are a grand lot of producers. That the blood
breeds on Blackwood, Jr., 2.22^, has shown in his table of per-
formers, having 5 in 2.30 and dam of another already. Daughters
of Blackwood have produced Merry Thought, 2.22^, and several
others. Twistwood's foals here will bear very critical exam-
ination, and all show her elegance, and show speed as well of a
high order.

Black without white; foaled 1886; bred at Highland View.
Sire, ALMONT EAGLE, 2.27.
First Dam, Twistwood, by Blackwood, 2.31,
Out of ^ Mambrino Chief dam.
Second Dam, Louise Kellogg, by Dl-xl,
Son of Geo. M. Patchen, 2.23^.
Third Dam, Daughter of Lmp. Consternation.
Fourth Dam, Roxanna, by American Eclipse,
by Duroc, son of Diomed, noted 3- and
4-mile racehorse.
Fifth Dam, Roxanna, by Sir Archy,
Best son of Diomed.
Here we have a richly constructed pedigree, replete in its Mam-
brino Chief dams, and with a line each to the famous 4-mile race-
horses, Grey Eagle and American Eclipse. Her Abdallah, 15, blood
never met better crosses than this combination furnish. Not a
strain to a faint-hearted family, and with a Clay outcross as well as
one to Alexander's Norman, a family which claims Lula, 2.15, May
Queen, 2.20, dams of Norman Medium, 2.20, Norval, 2.17^ (sire
of Norlain, i-year record 2.3 if), and nine more. Almawood is
well qualified to pass down to her produce a high rate of. speed.
She inherits it, and better still possesses it individually, is a beau-
tiful, sound, stylish young mare. We shall probably train her pre-"
vious to permanently retiring her from the stud. She has no '' slack
places " and those who have looked her over are loifd in her
praises. What a colt she will produce bred to Evolutio.

CRYSTAL.
[Standard Bred.]
Dark chestnut; foaled 1883 ; bred by Highland View.

First Dam, Fanny Lambert, by Daniel Lambert, 102,
Sire of Comee, 2.19J, Nancy, 2.23^,
Ella Doe, 2.23^, and 32 others; also
dams of Pamlico, 2.i6f, Dandy Jim,
2.19I, Revenue, 2.22^, and 16 others.
Second Dam, Grey Mare,
Claimed to be a Messenger.
Crystal is in conformation a beautiful mare, strongly imbued
with the Lambert characteristics ; can trot very fast, and with op-
portunity should very nearly trot in 2.20 to prophecy within
bounds.
ROSSiflZOOD.
[Standard.]
Bay mare ; foaled 1885 ; bred by Highland View.
Sire, Scutari, jr.
First Dam, Twistwood, by Blackwood, 2.31.

Son of Geo. M. Patchen, 2.23^.
Third Dam, Hibernia, by Imp. Consternation.
Fourth Dam, Roxanna, by American Eclipse.
Fifth Dam, Roxanna, by Sir Archy.
Examine Scutari, Jr.'s bloodlines, then turn to Twistwood and
weigh well the breeding values of this pedigree for broodmare's use.
Individually she comes up to the standard of excellence it calls
for, is nicely gaited, and should she be handled would undoubtedly
trot fast. Her every movement is grace itself.

Sire, ABBOTTONIAN.
Son of Mambrino Dudley, 2.19!, he by Woodford Mambrino, 2.2ii.
First Dam, Crystal, by Robert Burns,
Son of Winthrop Morrill.
Second Dam, Daughter of Daniel Lambert, 102,
Sire of Comee, 2.19^, Ella Doe, 2.23I,
etc.
Abbottonian's dam. Muse, was by Winthrop Morrill, out of the
well known trotting mare Lady Thornton, 2.26^ (dam of Virginia
Evans, 2.24, trial 2.18), and has sired some very promising foals.
Robert Burns' dam was by Old Hambletonian, 2d dam by Thos.
Jefferson, son of Mambrino Paymaster, Jr., 3d dam, a daughter of
Mambrino Paymaster. Thos. Jefferson's dam was also by Mam.
Paymaster, giving three direct strains to Mambrino Paymaster,
sire of Mambrino Chief, 11, the great sire of Lady Thorne, 2.i8|.
CHRISTHBEL.
[Standard, Rule 6.]
Black filly; no white; foaled 1888; bred at Highland View.
Sire, ALMONT EAGLE, 2.27.
First Dam, Crystal, by Robert Burns.
Second Dam, Fanny Lambert, by Daniel Lambert.
The Mambrino Chief blood, technically speaking, is the back-
ground for this pedigree. Robert Burns traces three times to
Mambrino Chief's sire, and Almont Eagle twice to Mambrino
Chief himself. Daniel Lambert throws in a strong dash of the
best Morgan, backed by Abdallah and American Star strains.
She is a very excellently well-bred filly, and can trot quite a bit,
though it is, of course, all natural speed, for she has not had a
moment's handling.

sire of Pilot Bird, 2.22!). Black Rose is dam of the dams of
Hermes, Heptagon, Abdalbrino, Maxion, Parmenus, Princeps, Pluto,
which have totally produced 40 in 2.30 list. Primrose produced
Ichi Ban, 2.29^, Redwald, 2.28J, and the dam of Chichester, 2.25^-
(sire of Stornaway, 2.30). Belmont brings in a producing dam as
well. Every line to a producing dam, and, as endeavored to illus-
trate the best and most positive " breeding on blood " in all the
stud-book., She is a beautifully-gaited, fast, and handsome young
mare, and worth, in these days of advanced breeding, $10,000, to
be mated with any sire of prominence. How can she miss being a
great producer herself.

Chief; second dam, Burch mare, dam of Rosalind, 2.2 if ; his dam
was by Mambrino Messenger, by Mambrino Chief, and second dam

backed with several direct lines to Mambrino Chief, twice to the
blood of the greatest son of Imp. Diomed, Sir Archy.
LoREEN is in foal to Rex Nutwood, a commingling of the Abdal-

This breeding is elegant so far as it extends, and composed of
animals excellent indiYidually. She is a fine young mare and half
sister to Scutari, Jr., one of our best young stallions ; a trotter of
promise and will be a good producer. Individually she compares
with any on the farm.

Second Dam, Daughter of Dad, 2.40,
By Ethan Allen (43), 2.25I, sire of
Daniel Lambert, 102, etc., etc.
Elfin calls for more than passing notice. She is inbred to the
great Volunteer, the founder of the gamest, nerviest family of
campaigners ever started, and she goes back to the sire of the
greatest Morgan (Daniel Lambert) ever foaled, which had few
opportunities but overcame all obstacles, and contributed 39 trotters
and dams of 24 more to the list.
N6TTIE GOODJflZOOD.

Great road mare, fast for her Sire of Lucy, 2.16^, and 3 others,
draught; was never trained. and dams of 6 others in the 2.30
list.
Nettie Goodwood is a grand mare, and her yearling by Vittoria,
good judges say, could show better than a three-minute gait, loose
in the paddock, and strong, pure gait. He at once makes a reputa-
tion for Nettie, for, bar all accident, it will be a very easy task for
him to trot in 2.30 at 3-years'-old form. The mare is very nicely
bred in true and tried lines, traces direct to the famous Geo. M.
Patchen, king of the turf during his years, and gets through the
Champion's the blood of Almack. Nettie 'iBurlew was a terribly
speedy mare, and could doubtess trot a quarter at a 2.08 gait. She
frequently went halves at a 2.12 gait in her work. She inherits
speed and can trot quite fast untrained, but is needed at Highland
View for broodmare use. That she will be very valuable as a
producer, we think none who ever saw her or her produce will for
a moment question.
MISS WESTON
Brown mare ; foaled 1887 ; bred by Geo. A. Weston, Bellows
Falls, Vt.
Sire, VITTORIA, 3993.

Vt. Produced Arabian Girl, 2.40
(dam of Psyche, 2.27^), also the
dam of Spotted Jim, 2.33. Six
of her produce could beat 2.30
had they been handled.
There is marked individuality combined with breeding in the
case of Mlss Weston. She will be a good producer we firmly be-
lieve.

This is a great young mare. Her foal here by Allectus (son of
Alcantara), Quintuple, can show, loose, as much speed as any we
ever saw at same age, and individually is a beauty. She is bred in
well-tried lines. Hartford was out of Belle, said to be by Hamble-
tonian, lo, but registered once as by that horse himself, again as by
''a Hambletonian horse." Rysdyk was out of Lady Duke, by Lex-
ington, granddam by Medoc. Jersey Lily could trot in 2.25, but
was bred before entering the list.
Hartelle is herself beautifully gaited, a nice finished mare and
finely coated winter or summer. She must produce a fine line of
foals judged by the first one, Quintuple.

Mermaid can enter the list still. She is so well fortified with

She will be mated with Evolutio, and we hope for something great.
It will be an outcross, and a good one as well.

Claremont Maid traces direct to Mambrino Chief three times,

cessful sons of " The Old Hero of Chester," and must make a
grand broodmare. Mares by sons of Alma Mater are now com-
manding high prices, and not obtainable at that, as well bred on
dam's side as is Claremont Maid. She is just what we are using
at Highland View in our stud for broodmare use, and intend to
retain her fillies to add also to our collection.

This filly we have kept for broodmare use. She has plenty of

value even in these days of advanced breeding, as Bell Hamlin,2.i2f,

ural speed with a splendid way of handling herself loose in the
lot. She strains four times to Mambrino Chief and twice to Ham-
bletonian, 10, once through his very best son, Geo. Wilkes, once
through a most excellent son, opportunity considered, Administra-
tor, whose daughters are passing 2.30 speed into the list each
season. With her breeding excellence and individual excellence
we look for good results from her union with the Highland View
stallions.

EuDORA is a grand roadmare ; can trot right round 2.40, and is
speedy, handsome, nice-gaited, and "able to give one a good stiff
cross-country ride of forty miles, and return, without being at all
fatigued, yet doesn't pull a pound. Her breeding is very good —
a double Morgan foundation and the Abdallah Mambrino Chief
top-cross. Statistics show that the old-time Morgan blood mingles
with the more fashionable strains in the veins of Nelson, 2.iof,
Axtell, 2.12, and a number of others among the bright stars either

Oakwood is the fastest colt of his age we ever had here. He can
show more speed and more stride in the yards than termed
average speed limit for unbroken yearling form, and must, with no
accident or set back, become a very fast horse. His action is per-

seen him, all pronounce him a wonderfully-gaited colt, and -a very
promising one for turf honors at maturity.

or produced performers, and their performers are great campaign-

portunities, did wonderful service to the trotting interests of Maine,
and established a family which, whether possessed of 2.30 speed
or slower, " all trot some." No one ever saw a Knox which
couldn't show some sort of speedy inclination. The Patchen
blood and Drew are valued outcrosses. Louella C. is a very

Eagle Wilkes is considered as handsome as the great show

mont, Abdallah, 15, and best of thoroughbred backing, tracing
three times direct to Sir Archy ; and on the sire's side three great
4-mile runners are represented : Grey Eagle, Wagner, and Lexing-

of those her rare breeding may attract. From any standpoint she
is a superior young filly, and after we trial her at maturity she will
go into the stud, where she must needs be a grand producer.

much better bred than are their sires. Add to all this the great
producers, Belle Dudley, Mme. Dudley, Primrose, Woodbine,
Belle, Martha, Lady Patriot, and there is hereditary excellence on
every limb of the tree. Peerless ought to be a successful sire, a
fast trotter, and yet is but a yearling as yet. Few colts are as
well qualified for the stud as he, and whatever families may be
fashionable a few years away, we think the " boom " will still be

Wm. H. Moody, by Vittoria, son of Administrator, dam Mer-
maid, trial, 2.28, by Volunteer Boy, second dam, Sea Foam, 2.24^,
introduces a double cross of Mambrino Chief blood, the valued
Abdallah, 15, blood, and that of the great sire of campaigners.
Volunteer, 55. On dam's side Solitaire gets more Mambrino
Chief- Abdallah, 15 (twice), with a phenomenal thoroughbred back-
ing. She is the first of her young sire's get, and is a very credita-
ble tribute. It would be hard to. exact a more perfect head and
neck than she carries, and from end to end there seems no flaw in
her make-up. Every one who has seen her has commented on her
rare finish and beautifully colored, sleekly-laid coat. She knows
nothing but trot, and for a weanling is extra attractive in action,
and shows quite a deal of juvenile speed, loose in the yards.

Third Dam, Daughter of Vt. Black Hawk, 5,
Sire of Ethan Allen, 2.254^.
This filly combines the blood-lines sired to Geo. Wilkes, Almont,
Alexander's Abdallah, Mambrino Chief, Pilot, Jr., and thorough-
bred, backed by the Black Hawk strain, famous for constitutional
vigor, beauty of finish, and a very valuable outcross for any animal
to possess.

Wonderful road-mare, very fast, and
a great long distance animal.

Eastern Boy, 2.29^, by Gen. Knox. It will be seen there is a
line everywhere to some developed speed ancestor. Sea Foam
was a much faster mare than her record indicates. Gen. Knox,

stances.

This filly proclaims her young sire a getter of juvenile promise,
and is a very elegant, pretty filly, lots of bone, lots of finish. She
is also excellently well bred, as a glance through her parent's pedi-
grees will show. Suffice it to say, that every way she is up to her
breeding.

Dam, Brock Mare, by Perkins' YoUxVG Morrill.

Untraced.
Surprise was out of a daughter of Black Hawk, 5, hence Dandy
is highly inbred to the famous Black Hawk family. He is a very
elegant horse, up-headed, handsome, very pure gaited, and can un-
doubtedly trot in or very near 2.25 with regular track work. A
Boston gentleman made a fair offer (for an undeveloped horse) last
spring, but we preferred to bring him out or sell to one who would
afford him a turf education.

great broodmare, Well's Star, dam of the great stallion, Artillery,

very highest bred animals to be procured even in these days of
advanced breeding. Is of good size, and well adapted at maturity
for broodmare use.

Second Dam, Jessie Havnes, by Don J. Robinson, 451,

• This filly is destined to become a broodmare at Highland View,
and when mated with Rex Nutwood the produce will carry two

trotting inheritance, and that is what we are aiming to secure,
along with individuality. She is a nice filly every way. Don J.
SUPPLEMENT. 83
Robinson was by Marshall Chief, 452, sire of Dr. Lewis, 2.24,
dams of A. V. Pantlind, 2.20:^, and Betsy Ann, 2.22^, and four
sons, sires of 2.30 horses. Robinson's dam. Lady Bates, by Ham-
bletonian, 10; 2d dam. Belle of Richmond, by Bathgate's Norman.
Marshall Chief is a grandson of Vermont Black Hawk, and out of
a Morgan mare.
Tremont was by Belmont, out of Virginia, by Abdallah, 15 ;
2d dam, Grey Goose (dam of Champagne, 2.30), by Nottingham's
Norman ; 3d dam by Brown Consul. We get the blood of Belmont
doubled, as Waterloo was a son of that great sire. There are
producers in every line of this filly's rich pedigree, and it will be
very discouraging if she herself doesn't become a great speed-
producer when she shall be bred to Rex Nutwood. The produce
of Belmont are breeding on very commendably.

84 SUPPLEMENT.
In all the stud-book it is very doubtful if the superior to this filly
in matter of great broodmare lines could be found. She has three
lines to Mambrino Chief, 11, the great Hambletonian-x\merican
Star cross the blood of Mambrino Boy, sire of dams of the greatest
three-year old, Axtell, 2.12, and greatest four-3'ear-old stallion,
Allerlon, 2.13^, both of which stand at a service fee of $1,000;
then to the remarkable producer, Waterwitch. It is wonderful,
but the sort of animals w^e consider best adapted to produce trot-
ters, and what we have aimed to secure, to give opportunity to our
young stallions, Rex Nutwood and Evolutio. Comment on Water-
loo has already been made, so it is not necessary to lepeat it here.
HESTER.

Dam, Leet Mare, by The Sheldon Horse,
Son of Morgan Empire, he by Empire
State, son of Duroc, Morgan Em-
pire's dam, by Woodbury, son of
' Justin Morgan,
This pedigree is short, but a rich commingling of Abdallah-Mam-
brino Chief blood with that of the stout, hardy Morgan, and tracing
direct to the fountain head of the founder of the great family —
Justin Morgan. She is a handsome, highly-finished mare, and
speedy as well.

QUEEN JflZILKES.
[Standard, Rule 6.]
Bay filly; foaled July 13, 1890; bred by J. W. Willis, M. D.,
Wahham, Mass.

Dam, Lady Ashley, by Kentucky Wilkes, 2.21^,
Sire of Virginia Evans, 2.24, and
Astoria, 2.30.
Second Dam, Maragold, by Black Cloud,
Own brother to Lady Stout, 2.29, and
sire of Charmer, 2.27.
Third Dam, Polly Farragut, by Admiral Farragut,
Dam of Theresa, 2.304-, and Ethan Son of Young Quaker, by Harris's
H. Drew, 2.33^, mile track. Hambletonian.
Fourth Dam, Daughter of Young Morrill, 118.
Sire of Fearnaught, 2.23|-, etc.
Sir Walter, Jr., 2.18^, was much faster than the record, and
showed a trial at five years of 2.17^ over Fleetwood track. He is
by Sir Walter, 2.24:5^, sire of three in 2.30 list, and out of a daughter
of the great broodmare sire, American Clay, the rest of his breed-
ing tracing directly to the best thoroughbred sires. Sir Walter,
2.24^, was by Aberdeen, 2.331-, sire of Modoc, 2.19, Hattie Wood-
ward, 2.15^, and many others, and his dam by Edward Everett,
sire of Judge Fullerton, 2.18, and many others. Aberdeen, 2.33^,
was by Hambletonian, 10, out of the fastest daughter of American
Star, 14, Widow Machree, 2.29, one of the gamest mares ever
trotted; so pronounced by the late Dan Mace, and other excellent
authorities. We not only get the greatest Hambletonian-Star
cross, but the Hambletonian-Clay strain, from which came Elec-
tioneer, Geo. Wilkes, and St. Julien, among the trotters. Note the
86 SUPPLEMENT.
speed progression : 2.33^, 2.24^, 2.18^, and she is gaited so to give
the hope that these figures may yet be lowered. On the dam's
side we get Kentucky Wilkes, 2.21^, on the best of Geo. Wilkes'
sons, and is producing trotters, though but a short while in the
stud. The second dam is by Black Cloud, son of the great brood-
mare sire, Mambrino Patchen, 58, and a horse, own brother to Lady
Stout, 2.29, the first to attain that record as a three-year-old.
Black Cloud's dam produced Lady Stout, 2.29, Black Diamond,
2.29I, and Jeb Stuart, sire of Kitty Patchen, 2.21^, and others, also
Mambrino Time, sire of two in 2.30, and the dam of Silverone,
2. 19 J, also Black Cloud, sire of Charmer, 2.27. Polly Farragut,
her third dam, is a producer of speed, for Theresa trotted in 2.30^,
while heavy in foal, and Ethan H. Drew has a record of 2.33!- on a
half-mile track. We consider that in point of breeding Queen
Wilkes is in the very front rank; few there are carrying the blood
of the great sires, Geo. Wilkes, Hambletonian, American Star, and
Mambrino Patchen, as well as the American Clay outcross. She
is what w^e have tried hard to secure for the Highland View Stud.
